Teen Center
The Teen Center is a hub for experiences- from special events, trips, leadership opportunities, and community service- where teens can connect with friends, try new things, and grow into their best selves.
Teen Membership
At the Boys & Girls Clubs of Newport County Teen Center, an annual membership opens the doors to a safe, welcoming space for teens 13+. Whether it’s diving into academics, exploring creativity through the arts, building leadership and character, or staying active and healthy, our programs are designed to help teens discover their strengths and reach their goals.
Families can register for available programs both online and in-person if they need assistance. Families must complete their teen’s membership registration before registering for programs. Our Club uses a Member Management system called MyClubHub to manage memberships.
